Amazon admits its own shortcomings – as reported by Good EReader. Is this the best they can do? Is this news to Amazon? Have they not heard of that strange, new idea called “product testing”?

Seems Amazon thinks this is a feature, not a bug. From their statement “These variations are normal and are located primarily in the margin where text is not present. The illumination is more even than that created by a book light or lighted cover. The contrast, resolution and illumination of the Paperwhite display is a significant step-up from our prior generation.”

I’m sorry to say that the Kindle DX is all gone, even the refurbs, and is only available as a used now! I can’t help but wonder why companies get rid of a proven seller. Just seems counter-intuitive to me.
